Math Alignment - start equation at left margin

Math Alignment - start equation at left margin

[Curiouslearn]

Hi,
Can someone please help with the alignment of  the equation so that it
starts at left. I tried flushleft and other options (such as without
\NC \NR, with align=left etc.). None of them result in the equation
starting at the left margin. The equation is either placed in the
middle or is aligned to the right. I want it to start at the left.

Thanks.

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]

\starttext

\startformula\startalign[align={left}]
				\NC\text{\bf Example: }  \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4
\frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC{ }\NR
\stopalign\stopformula

\stoptext

Hi,

Is this what you want to achieve:

%%%%%% begin
\starttext

From Aditya's \type{mathalign.pdf}, where he defines in fact a 
\type{\definemathalignment[flalign]}, 
(but I prefer \type{FLalign]…) one has

\definemathalignment[FLalign] [m=2, distance=5em plus 1 fil] %We need to set a default value for m

Curiouslearn'  input was:
\startformula
\startalign
\NC\text{\bf Example: }  \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4
\frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC{ }\NR
\stopalign
\stopformula

\startformula
\startFLalign %% here you can add [m=2] or [m=3] if you need more columns
\NC\text{\bf Example: }  \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4
\frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC \NC \NR %% note twice \NC
\stopFLalign
\stopformula

\stoptext
%%%%%% end

Best regards: OK

[Curiouslearn]

Otared, thanks very much for bringing Aditya's article to my
attention. The method worked well.

The correct way to do this is

\setupformulas[align=flushleft]

\starttext
\startformula
   a = b
\stopformula
\stoptext

However, this does not work in MkIV due to a bug introduced in the 
splitting of mkii-mkiv files. math alignment works using commands

\def\startinnermath
   {\getvalue{\e!start\??fm\formulaparameter\c!align}}

\def\stopinnermath
   {\getvalue{\e!stop \??fm\formulaparameter\c!align}}

which are defined in math-ali.mkiv. However, strc-mat.mkiv redefines these 
to \empty, so the simple math alignment does not work anymore.

Hans: we need to either move these definitions from math-ali to strc-mat 
or remove

\let\startinnermath\empty
\let\stopinnermath \empty

from strc-mat.mkiv

Re: Math Alignment - start equation at left margin

[Curiouslearn]

I had tried using \setupformulas, but it did not work when I posted my
question. I suppose it was for the reason you mentioned. I will try it
again, once I have downloaded the latest beta.

Thanks.
